Chapter 383 Almost Reached the Grand Finale
Black Cloud Fort was nestled among mountains, with Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass walking on foot.
However, this journey was without any complications.
They did not encounter the Evil God, nor were there any interference from Demon Cultivators.
Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass reached the gates of Black Cloud Fort unimpeded, and under the warm spring sun, Black Cloud Fort appeared simple and tranquil.
The villagers wore odd but not unattractive clothes, with friendly smiles on their faces.
In the ditch in front of the gate, a group of children were shouting as they fished, barefoot and standing knee-deep in the ditch, catching finger-sized stream fish.
With a kindly smile, Old Lady Gu sat quietly under an ancient tree in front of Black Cloud Fort's gate, tilting her head, silently watching the children play.
Anyone who didn't know her would be moved by this warm scene.
But Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass felt a chill in their hearts and did not dare to delay, immediately stepping forward to greet her.
"...We pay our respects to Grandma."
"Hello, Grandma."
The two greeted her very politely.
Although outside she was an Immortal who conversed jovially with Immortals, in the presence of Old Lady Gu, Little Wild Grass seemed to revert to the little girl she once was, sweetly calling her 'Grandma' to seem endearing.
Facing their arrival, Old Lady Gu under the ancient tree smiled and shook her head.
"Twenty years, huh..."
She sighed with a complex tone, muttering to herself.
She then looked at Li Muyang, who had aged into a middle-aged man with a few strands of silver at his temples.
And she looked at Little Wild Grass, who had turned into an ethereal immortal, surrounded by a mist of Spiritual Energy.
Old Lady Gu exclaimed, "Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye... Jiang Xiaoyu, you have returned to the village again."
"Have you come back this time to ask the old woman for help with something?"
Old Lady Gu's face, lined with deep wrinkles, looked somewhat aged, "If there is anything, just say it, while the old woman can still help. This old woman is also of age, and I am afraid I won't live many more years..."@@@@
Old Lady Gu murmured softly.
Little Wild Grass then glanced in the direction of the mountain behind Black Cloud Fort, where everything seemed normal, and the Demon Cultivators in the rear mountain showed no signs of activity.
But perhaps it was because Old Lady Gu was waiting at the gate this time.
Normally, if there were no issues, Old Lady Gu would sit at the gate of the ancestral temple, the highest point in the village.
This time, however, Old Lady Gu was sitting at the village gate, obviously waiting for Li Muyang and her.
Hearing Old Lady Gu's words, Little Wild Grass did not beat around the bush and directly explained her purpose, hoping that Old Lady Gu would help cure Li Muyang's illness.
Upon hearing that Li Muyang had awakened the Eye of Spiritual Sight and his soul had been contaminated by the power of the Ancient Evil God, Old Lady Gu's eyes widened slightly.
"The Eye of Spiritual Sight?"
She looked at Li Muyang in astonishment, sizing him up and down as if seeing him anew.
"Just by witnessing the existence of the Evil God, you activated the Eye of Spiritual Sight?"
"Jiang Xiaoyu, your talent is higher than the old woman thought... It's a pity you were born a male."
Old Lady Gu sighed regretfully, "If you had been a female, I could have passed on all my skills to you."
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed "Deadly Wild Grass"]
[Choose to settle and receive your reward]
[Would you like to settle this game now?]
[Note: After settling and collecting your reward, this game will be permanently closed]
In the quiet room, Li Muyang, seeing this long string of system interface, was stunned.
"Ah? Is that it? Completed already?"
What about the promised five stages?
This is only stage four, and you're telling me I've completed it?
Li Muyang, out of habit, wanted to see what would happen if he chose the other option, only to find out he had inadvertently triggered the grand finale and completed the game ahead of time.
Looking at the very ordinary system reward displayed in his vision, Li Muyang rolled his eyes.
"Such an ordinary completion reward, is it worth the one-year-plus, four-stage struggle I went through?"
And what about the five stages we agreed on?
Li Muyang chose to load the game immediately, returning to before Black Cloud Fort, and picked the first option from Granny.
"A 50% chance? Okay, I'm in for it!"
Without any hesitation, Li Muyang chose the option with a 50% chance, saying, "Granny, please hurry and heal me!"
The plot for the fifth stage clearly required Li Muyang to choose bravery in the face of death to unlock it.
Such a lengthy story game, the rewards after a complete clear would definitely be explosive.
Li Muyang did not hesitate to forsake the completion reward and chose to continue the challenge.
Hearing this, Granny gave him a deep look, shaking her head with regret.
"What a pity..."
Granny sighed, "What a pity you are not a daughter..."
Granny was evidently lamenting that she couldn't pass her skills to Li Muyang.
She turned and walked into Black Cloud Fort, saying, "Follow me, the remedy to heal you lies within the ancestral temple."
Granny, without turning her head back, said, "Inside the ancestral temple, the entities that can poison you can also heal you."
"You will enter that land alone, facing them directly..."
Granny spoke calmly about the method of salvation.
But upon hearing this, Li Muyang was struck with a sudden surge of anxiety.
Entering the ancestral temple...
He still remembered the last time he entered the ancestral temple and encountered terrifying entities in that dark, eerie space.
And now he was going in again?
Entering alone to face those Evil Gods... Damn!
Is there really a 50% chance of survival?
Li Muyang suddenly felt a bit doubtful.
I, a mere mortal, am to enter the Evil God's Lair alone to face the multitude of Evil Gods, and there's still a 50% chance of survival... Are you serious?
